Forget the Rare items, what about the common man?

[Bloomoo]

There are many rare items traded across the galaxy, catering for the wealthy and elite.
But what about the common man, what does he do after a hard day's work when he wants to relax with friends?
Well he likes a drink, just like everyone else of course!

I've prepared a quick guide to the common drinks you'll find throughout populated space,
to help you make friends and avoid making a social faux pas in the spaceport bar.

Obviously all Imperials, regardless of status, have a refined palette, so only the best will do...

Spoiler

You will find that Alliance members are always chilled out dudes, but don't always partake of alcoholic beverages

Spoiler

And the Federation, well they have a wide selection of Federation Standard Beverages to cater for everyone

Spoiler

I hope this helps, and remember and say Hi and buy me a drink next time you see me at the bar.

This clearly shows why I am a Count of the Empire, in very good standing with Alliance and very ho-hum with the Federation.

Also, it visualizes the difference between the Imperial Clipper (Champagne) and the Federal Dropship (American-style light ersatz-beer, aka sheep-dip, gnat's p**s, dishwater or swill)

You know there was such a thing as Federation Ace Lager. Never encountered it personally and it seems I didn't miss much http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/federation-ace-lager/19267/

Ha Ha, that's, well, Ace!
It's quite obviously from the Federation's premium range of products!

Nice one Bloomoo!

But I thought the Clipper would be carrying the tea

CMDR Ellegon "American-style light ersatz-beer" made me laugh, rep given.

I would say that some of our explorers are on recycled urine by now?

Arry.

You mean American beer?

Nope, cargo hold full of this stuff:

Brewed a couple of kilometers from here

I never realised that the yanks had learnt to make a real beer yet, but it sounds about the same.

Arry.

 

[Bloomoo]

I'm insulted. I don't drink tea.

Sorry Ziggy, here's one specially for you

Yes, in the hold. This is also why the Clipper cockpit has so much empty floor space,
So you can wheel up the trolleys with ice buckets right next to your seat, and dine on champage and caviar while flying though asteroid fields killing pirates.
